Scum comment East Lancs magistrate restored as bench chairman

BACK: Austin Molloy BACK: Austin Molloy

THE Blackburn magistrate who was suspended after calling two yobs ‘absolute scum’ has won his job back.

Austin Molloy’s treatment sparked outrage with more than 600 comments on the Lancashire Telegraph website.

And in the Lancashire Telegraph’s online poll, 95 per cent of the 4,000 people who voted said he was right to tell the two teens who desecrated Blackburn Cathedral that ‘normal people would consider you absolute scum’.

But now campaigners are hailing a ‘victory for common sense’ after he was given the go-ahead to take back his place a chair of the bench.

It also believed that he had received an apology.

Friends said he 'would continue to speak from the heart' in court.

Incorrect reports claimed last week that Mr Molloy had been reinstated.

In fact the decision was only made this week.

But, while he has now been allowed to sit as chairman again, an investigation is still ongoing into his conduct by the local magistrates advisory committee.

However, this is understood to involve his public comments on the issue rather than his conduct in court.

Mr Molloy appeared on GMTV among other national media to defend his actions.

A source close to Mr Molloy, a 57-year-old engineering company director from Darwen, said: “He is now back sitting as a chairman of the bench and he feels as if he did nothing wrong.

“He will continue to speak from the heart in the same way that he has for 18 years as a magistrate.”

Mr Molloy’s lawyers have now written to the advisory committee to offer his version of events after the confrontation in Blackburn Magistrates' Court on May 13.

The magistrate made the remark while sentencing two boys who vandalised an artefact and wrote graffiti in the cathedral.

Court clerk Christine Dean challenged his 'inappropriate language' in court, and Mr Molloy was later relieved of his duties as chairman of the bench after an investigation was launched.

It is understood that Mr Molloy has now been given an apology.

Last night the decision was backed by the father of one of the boys Mr Molloy labelled scum.

The man, who cannot be named, said: "I am glad he has his job back, and I would say to him 'carry on with the good work'.

"I didn't think he should have been suspended in the first place."

Darwen MP Jake Berry said: "This is a victory of common sense over political correctness.

"I had written to Ken Clarke, the Justice Secretary, about Mr Molloy's case so I am pleased that common sense has prevailed.

"We have to remember that magistrates are doing a job for society and they should be protected and valued."

Blackburn businesswoman Margo Grimshaw said: "I am very glad Mr Molloy has his job back, and I think we need more people like him.

"It always seemed like political correctness gone mad."

Fellow Blackburn magistrate Zar Hussain said he was 'happy to see Austin back' after a testing couple of weeks at the courthouse.

He said: "I personally support him and I don't think he said anything other than what we all have felt at some point, but maybe with hindsight he should have kept his thoughts to himself.

"Maybe he wouldn't have said it if he felt it would cause this many issues. As a magsitrate you've got to be careful about what you say."

“Scum comment Blackburn magistrate restored as bench chairman”
-
About time and should never have come to this. How about an apology by Christine Dean for making such a fuss about something so trivial. If she wants to complain about something constructive then could I suggest she has a walk around Blackburn sometime with her eyes open. How about complaining about the short sentences that are always given to drug dealers in this town for instance? That would be sensible and of worth.

Christine Dean - So easy to make something out of nothing!

Victory, JP gets job back? He was never sacked plus there is still an investigation ongoing. Why wasn't the headline " JP still under investigation allowed to sit as chair"
I would hazard a guess that the matters being investigated regarding public comment are more serious than what he said in court.
Sensationalising and trying hard to justify his comments Mr Molloy stated on TV that comments had been wrote in a bible. What was written in was a visitors comments / prayer request book in the catherdral for any visitor to write in albeit the comment they wrote were unpleasant, they did not desecrate a bible. The cannon can verify this. The man should not have been discussing the details of the case in the press or on TV and certainly should not have exaggerated and falsely claimed that it was a bible that had been written in. Also the press have continuously used the term prayer book which gives the impression of a hymn book or bible.
This case would not have been turned into this saga if Mr Molloy and the press had not made misleading untrue statements.

I would also like to point out that in his comments in court Mr Molloy appointed himslf speaker for all 'normal people'. The cannon and congregation are 'normal people' and certainly don't hold the views Mr Molloy attributed to them. He also spoke of a breach of trust. This man has broke a breach of trust in his interviews, let down fellow JP's and breached magistrates codes of conducts/ rules and guidelines. A man of integrity who deserves to be praised and put on a pedestal as ambassador for all 'normal people'? I think not

I think you've had too many Tetleys - the comment should probably have not been made by a magistrate but how can you not agree that the sentiment is not correct given the action performed by these "scum" and that any one should not be able to express it whether it is referring to children or not???

This is exactly the type PC nanny state attitude that gets us where we are today.

Criminals don't deserve any respect! They are a blot on society. Nobody needs to break the law, so if they do they deserve everything they get including being called "scum". Dictionary definition, "a vile person". Fully justifying that description.
As for Ms Dean I hope she has apologised personally to Mr Molloy and the court for her outburst at the hearing, and will in future engage brain before speaking out.

If I had a child that behaved in the way these two lads behaved then I would realise I had failed as a parent and would be in full agreement with anybody that called them "scum". Just like one of the boy's father was.

Go wash your mouth out, calling me a dogooder (sic). I am just one of the silent majority (maybe not too silent) that dispair of today's society. Too many people seem to think that the world owes them a living and that they can get away with anything. Well! now is the time for the majority of decent minded people to stand up and be counted. Let's tell these people that want to bring down society that we have had enough and want to lead our own lives without fear or intimidation from others. We want to be able to go anywhere, do anything, that doesn't involve criminal acts, knowing that we are safe from harm. Both physical and material.

If your children had been referred to in this way, then it is obviously for good reason (as proven by one of the scumbag's fathers coming out in support of Mr Molloy...) so I think you would feel ashamed and as though you had failed as a parent maybe, and that you should take a long hard look at your own parenting skills?

As a magistrate of some 18 years' standing, presumably Mr Molloy commands a great deal of respect from his magisterial colleagus, and others, within the courts system. Why, then, was he lambasted in the way he has been for such a relatively minor transgression? Yes, his words may have been unprofessional, and deserving of a reprimand, but surely there is no justification for the vitriol and vilification to which he has been subjected. As for those posters, on this thread and others, who appear to think that "family must come first", whatever they may have done - they are the ones deserving of contempt, not Mr Molloy.

Thank God common sense has largely prevailed!

95% of the People thought it acceptable that Jesus should be put to death like an absolute criminal. These children did not do anything bad and He should apologise for infering that these children should ever be considered as being absolute scum. The absolute scum and corruption is in the cathedral and it was there long before these children showed up. Mr Molloy will be a reminder of that fact on any court bench he s its in.

These Children did not do anything bad. Neither did Christine Dean.

Given some of the things i've heard lately Mr Molloy does not command a great deal of repect from all fellow jp's or others within the court system
He was not lambasted he quite rightly told that his comment were out of place in the courtroom. Nor has he been ubject to vitriol and vilification that has been heaped upon the two boys and their parents. Mr Molloy chose to wallow in the limelight and through his own interviews in the pres and on TV kept this saga running and exaggerating facts. As said prior let's see what the investigation uncovers.

Most Atheist would consider what the Children did to be a normal rebellious reaction in a dysfunctional religiously out of kilter world run by those who worship the bones of the dead and other alledgedly priceless and inanimate objects. The Cathedralites have confused the spiritual with the priceless. They have traded that which is Living for that which is inanimate.

People should be speaking up for these Children and the Bishop should be speaking out to reject the Magistrates smears against them.

Anyway, are you now trying to tell us that the poor little, misunderstood, and, no doubt, "traumatised", mites didn't deserve the padding that they've received? If so, I'd gues that you're of a small, perhaps even tiny, minority.

She loves Property while exploiting people for cash and has a good relationship with the cathedral so i reckon she probably has a good chance.

I am not saying that I think these boys are misunderstood or traumatised. Nor are these boys or their parents claiming that either. I am saying the boys were rightly punished for what they did and that the parents have not condoned their behaviour in any way shape or form. As I have said in earlier post Mr Molloy and the press have grossly exaggerated the offences and he is wrong to have done so on national TV. Mr Molloy is entitled to his own personal views as is everyone he is not entitled to air them publically whilst speaking in his capacity as a magistrate. Read my earlier post and you may understand my point.

If Margo Grimshaw has a good relationship with the catherdral then perhaps she could have a word with the cannon to etablish some facts before spouting on something she knows nothing about. The cannon can verify that the reported so called fact of this cae are grossly exaggerated and indeed that the cannon himself did want the boys to go to court. And for the record the father of the one the boys did not agree that his son was scum.

What a buffon this man is, pea cocking himself around the tabloids. Jack Straw and Jake Berry (MP's) should delve a little deeper into Mr Molloys character before jumping on the political bandwagon. His sentiments were right, his actions not. Yes there is a society problem. By making these comments would he go any way to resolving any of them? No, not one iota of a difference. Its easy to sympathise with him when the general public do not have the information to hand on correct court conduct. We are not caped crusaders, we are also, in particularly not political. I for one do not want to be sat with him in court again. I'm not having a loud mouth representing my opinions on a case and expressing them how he chooses.

At last someone who actually knows Mr Molloy willing to speak the truth.
As you say bburnman, let the MP's, Darwen Mayor and BwDB councillors who have jumped on the bandwagon delve a little deeper into his character and also his behaviour and comments following his reprimand in court by Christine Dean.
This man has blatantly grossly exaggerated the offences, details of which he should not have been discussing outside of court. By doing so he has stirred up misguided and misinformed comments levelled at these boys and their parents, He has proved himself to be arrogant, untrustworthy & obnoxious with no respect for fellow JP's or the court system. Something, I am led to believe, fellow JP's and other involved in the court system also believe to be true. Is not fit to continue as a magistrate? I hope that the ongoing investigation proves he is not.

It is you that is missing the point. No-one has said that their actions should have been excused. If everyone who ever broke the law was to be classed as absolute scum then that would apply to a lot of the population but that is not the issue here, it's whether as a magistrate he conducted himself in a proper manner both in court when he was reprimanded and afterward in interviews. If there was no doubt that Mr Molloy was right and conducted himself in a proper manner there would be no need for an investigation. Obviously the ourt system thinks differently.

bburner,

They didn't spray paint anyones house. They didn't vandalise anyones dwelling. They didn't hurt anyone or rob anyone of anything and there is no evidence that any person was caused any suffering as a result of this incident.

These two Teenage People are the victims of absolute and criminal abuse dispensed on that day by Mr Molloy as witnessed and documented. He was Abusive and Insulting to the young people concerned as is clearly evidenced.

The Young are not to be Abused, either by Magistrates or Priests and He Abused them in a Court of Law.

Will He be arrested for his crime in a Court of Law. ? I for one hope so.

Sincerely, Ken, I was not in Lancashire when the story first broke. I first heard about it in the National Press. I read the words " desecrated ", "vandalised " and " graffiti" in the article above plus the fact it came to court and now I'm told they were "children". One has to assume the LT is not lying. So what happened? How old were these lads? I seriously want to know facts ( not opinion ).

KS. I understand where you are coming from, I also do not accept the

However, the boys did wrong !
Why were they in the church, why write in the book anything which you,I or any other thinker would not ?
They did not think !
They needed to be told of their wrongdoing, else,as has already been said,they will not think in future !

It is you that is missing the point. No-one has said that their actions should have been excused. If everyone who ever broke the law was to be classed as absolute scum then that would apply to a lot of the population but that is not the issue here, it's whether as a magistrate he conducted himself in a proper manner both in court when he was reprimanded and afterward in interviews. If there was no doubt that Mr Molloy was right and conducted himself in a proper manner there would be no need for an investigation. Obviously the ourt system thinks differently.
Well 95% of the poll believe he was right to have said what he did in court. Regarding the other issue, following the incident and subsequyent media involvement... well that would require a another poll... or have I missed another point!

The reason 95% of a media poll think he was right is because nobody gets the facts right when reporting. All along the media and Mr Molloy have grossly exaggerated what these boys actually did. Mr Molloy even stated on national TV that they wrote lurid comment in a bible. I am not condoning what they did but they did receive a sentence and that should be the end of the matter. Mr Molloy in his capacity as a JP i there to dispense sentences not give opinions on what he thinks 'normal' people would think. Christine Dean was doing her job correctly. The only thing Mr Molloy didn't like was the fact that someone had the bottle to stand up to him. He and the media have led people to believe the offences were a lot wore than they actually were. All along people have jumped on the media / Molloy bandwagon. The issue is not whether the description he used was apt it is about conducting himself in an appropriate manner and in accordance to proper court procedures.

burner,

The caset was dealt with in a youth court. IT WAS NOT AN ADULT COURT.

They did something wrong. It does not make them absolute scum unless you are like Mr Molloy, the sort of person who spends your life waiting for an opportunity to hate and abuse someone. If that is not the case you are just a person who is, for some reason, proud to advertise your complete lack of understanding and intelligence.

These Two Young People did nothing really BAD. They are NOT ABSOLUTE SCUM and it is disgusting that Mr Molloy is allowed to sit on the bench without first apologising to the childrens parents for his abusive and insulting remarks. Magistrates are required to dispense a penalty, they are not required to Abuse People.

Venting and spewing hatred at everything at every opportunity is a disease. The Damage they did was minor, and caused only to the inanimate. No People were harmed in this incident.

We have covered up Child Abuse in our Churches. Perhaps the time has come to stamp it out of our justice system. Molloy is a Child abuser and a bully in my opinion. Any Solicitor should refuse to have his defendents case heard in any court Mr Molloy sits in. I am considering making a citizens arrest in court.

Ken, thanks for replying, but that was hardly an unbiased explanation. I don't want to know what they DIDN'T do. Being in court ( a Youth Court is not for lesser crimes, it is for younger offenders ) and being convicted is what happened. Ken, you seem to be saying that a crime doing harm to a person is wrong, but a crime against "inanimate" property is " not a BAD " thing. You have strange and selective values. I now go back to what I said initially - would you be so protective of anyone if it were your property that was desecrated? I think not !

Ken, wtf are you on about? They're a perfect example of what seems to be happening with the younger generations in most towns of the country. That said their actions also reinforce the negative perceptions older generations have about young people; many of whom are salt of the earth types, helpful etc. I know a couple of teenagers who wouldn't have dreamed of carrying out this type of mindless (scummy) attack, perhaps because the lads i'm thinking of were encouraged from a young age to take part in productive activities.. cadets/sports/rock climbing...

What they did certainly didn't cause the owner of the Cathedral and the owner of the said priceless artefact any harm. What they did was cause NO-ONE any harm. Has any Harm been caused to any person ? I think not. The only Harm caused was to the inanimate, not even the owner of the property was harmed.
If it is acceptable to regard the actions of individuals who cause no harm to anyone absolute scum then I really do wonder what term you would use to describe someone who went around hurting and abusing the feelings of others for no other reason than the hurting and abusing of others made the abuser feel as if they were right.

The Teenagers DID NOT HURT ANYONE and neither did they Abuse anyone. They wrote the wrong thing in the wrong place and bent an inanimate ornament. The only ABUSE was direct abuse came from Mr Molloy in the proceedings.

It is wrong to abuse others.

A recent poll suggests in over 95% of people, the words would be "Little Sh!ts"... a judge saying 'scum', in my eyes is a watered down version of what Joe Public would say.
The system then proceeded to drag Malloy into a position were he felt all common sense had failed, so he turned to the media. Personally, i'd birch the little buggers before the inanimate becomes more serious. It's generally accepted that places of worship should be crime free and an example should have be made of them (I'm not religious in the slightest but certain things should be respected by default).

What sort of education, rehabilitation, wisdom, teaching, attention did the Bishop offer in an effort to correct their behaviour in the future ? The answer is, a big fat glutonous NOTHING! No attempt whatsoever was made by the Cathedral to have any conversation or make any effort with regard to correcting the behaviour of these boys. No wisdom or education or effort or redemption was offered. NONE!...... Why? Because The Bishop was too busy getting a Crime number so he could put in his greedy claim to the insurance company.

I was a little **** once. Get real. This is about the Abuse of Children by those who run our Courts and Churches. Molloy is just another Gluton who needs to abuse others to make himself feel decent and superior.

The Cathedral and it's Prayer Books, it's priceless sacred objects, it's dead bones, idols, beads and other inanimate things should NOT BE VENERATED.

As for shaking the magistrates hand for calling them scum - would you also thank him for exaggerating the offences on national TV, then also thank everyone who then classed you and your wife as scummy parents?
As for Ken's comment with regards the catherdral intervening, I think they could have. Not in order to lessen the sentencing but to comment on the media reports exaggerating the offences.

If you have kids who do something like this, then how CAN you stick up for them and support them, I know I certainly wouldn't. Parents who would stick for their kids in something like this are basically condoning and allowing their children to do wrong and turning a blind eye to it. I couldn't and wouldn't allow this at all;they would get the biggest wallop they weren't expecting and be grounded for a long time and i'd sell their stuff off to pay for the damage if need be. Kids today need a bloody good hiding if they go off the rails like this.

I don't see anyone defending these Kids. Nobody is defending what they did as if it was in any way commendable. I am sure the Parents are also not best pleased. It was the Cathedral that turned it's back, it could have taken the opportunity to have a conversation with these Kids instead of sending them to Mr Molloy to be Abused. There are better ways to educate, punish and penalise people than to Abuse them. Young People do not need to be Abused by some Nanny Authority even if our Priests and Bishops do silently support it.

And there are better ways to make kids see the error of their ways than being soft,not using physical punishment and constantly shouting and reasoning with them to try and snap them out of whatever they are doing or getting involved in;in the 70's and 80's kids were walloped for doing wrong and stepping out of line with the official face of authority and schoolteachers and parents and families, and thanks to the Govt refusing an total outright ban on smacking by refusing as well to make it illegal in the process but by drawing the line at physical injuries caused by more extreme forms of physical punishment becoming a law matter(and so it should be), parents still have that tool to use if needs be where it is warranted.

Abuse is not a tool. I agree there are ways of denying, restricting, all sorts of liberties. However, it should be remembered that Abuse is not the tool we need. Abuse is not the tool of education and it is certainly not the tool of Kindness. If it is not a tool of Kindness then of what benefit is it to anyone. ?

Any Logic and any form of reasoning without Love is futility.

Abuse is not Morality, Abuse is a Moral Stain of an immoral system which is devoid of showing either Kindness or Understanding or Love.

Kindness, Understanding and Love are the only things that need to be passed on from one generation to the next.

Abuse should NOT be passed on by EDUCATORS and Court Officials.

And what if other parents smacking their children tell you to mind your own business if you interfere with a child getting punished and you refuse and as a result you also get ten kinds of meat duffed out of you for interfering eh? You should keep your nose out of where it's not wanted, and I hope it happens to you as well where you interfere and physically try to stop a child getting smacked for wrongdoing-it will serve you right good and proper and secondly it WILL teach you to keep your interfering nebby nose out of what doesn't concern you.

Who's sticking up for these boys behaviour? The parents didn't and as far i can see Ken hasn't. Correct me if i'm wrong Ken but the religious issue aside, Ken is pointing out that Mr Molloy as a JP is there to issue sentences not comment on what 'normal people' would think. Mr Molloy's conduct after his reprimand was unproffessional and is under investigation. The boys received punishment for their wrongdoings and as a 'normal' peron i agree that I too would have grounded and made sure they paid for any damage themselves and ensured they complied with any sentence given by court however i fail to see how giving your kids a bloody good hiding on top of that serves any purpose apart from teaching them to be afraid of you or that it is ok if your bigger or stronger to use violence if you disapprove of something someones done. That doesn't teach your kid right from wrong. What is your definition of parental corporal punishment- it must be more than a smacked behind or smacked leg because you feel the need to call it an 'hiding' and emphasise the point by adding 'good' and 'bloody'.
If your child was charged with assault would a real good kicking be in order before or after you sold their belongings and would they learn their lesson or be prone to be more violent themselves as a result.
I doubt you will answer my points as you will be far too busy thinking of another sanctimonious holier than thou answer.

How easy it is to pick out what you want from a comment. And we have news media in place to inform us ( another establishment that Ken Shuffles attacks often ) He just will not give up with his slagging !

A smacked behind at 16yrs old - don't make me laugh.
Like i said if you advocate in your words ' a bloody good hiding' what's your definition of that. Answer the questions posed in my last post and stop repeating yourself on what you would do.
That may be too hard for you though given your response to Kens post you obviously advocate violence as an answer to everything you don't agree with

Make your mind up is it a 'bloody good hiding' - a wallop (crack round the head) or a good smack on the behind?
If your going to post at least try to remember what you have said or even make up you mind what level of violence your advocating without having to resort to playground name calling in order to avoid answering the questions posed.

Ken Shuffles, See what I mean people, I am not abusing some innocent victim, but get the abuse that Shuffles says that he enjoys giving out. He puts both of his big feet in his big mouth at every turn. And especially when he sees that he is being shown up for what he is and is losing an argument. I still think that you are crackers Shuffles.
